Storm Reid Joins Ava DuVernay's 'Central Park Five' Netflix Series

Storm Reid is back working with Ava DuVernay on a brand new project called Central Park Five.

The Wrinkle in Time actress will star as Lisa in the upcoming Netflix series, alongside Niecy Nash, Aunjanue Ellis, Kylie Bunbury, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Michael K. Williams, Vera Farmiga, John Leguizamo, Felicity Huffman, Jharrel Jerome and Jovan Adepo.

Based on a true story that gripped the country, the limited series will chronicle the notorious case of five teenagers of color who were convicted of a rape they did not commit.

The four episode limited series will focus on the five teenagers from Harlem — Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise. The series will span from the spring of 1989, when each were first questioned about the incident, to 2014 when they were exonerated and a settlement was reached with the city of New York.

Central Park Five will debut in 2019.
